Each manual welding torch serves as the extended arm of the welder. Therefore, it is important to have the ideal welding torch for yourself and the welding task. With our configurators you have the possibility to configure your individual MIG/MAG or TIG welding torch by yourself.

How about easily welding 5 m – without interruption or back pain? Sounds too good to be true? The ABI-CAR welding tractors make this possible. They are ideal for the first step into mechanized welding – and also a smart choice economically.

Welding where you want to have the weld is a real challenge in automated production. Costly rework or even scrap in production processes can be avoided right from the beginning with AutoGuide Plus. This torch guide with optical seam tracking works absolutely independent and makes permanent monitoring unnecessary.

For best welding results
For tungsten inert gas welding (TIG), the non-fusing and temperature resistant tungsten electrode, in addition to the torch, the energy source and the inert gas, is a major factor for obtaining optimum results.

Join securely – prevent corrosion
Welding stainless steel is a special challenge. To create clean seams and permanently stable connections with minimal risk of corrosion it is important first of all to determine the stainless steel exactly. After this, the welding method and the welding process must be exactly aligned to this. Welding is usually carried out with TIG, MIG, MAG and manual metal arc welding methods.

Long-lasting connections – outstanding visual appearance
Aluminium is a lightweight and at the same time solid material that is used wherever stable components must not weigh very much. The material is used in alloys in aerospace, as well as in the construction of railway vehicle, motor vehicles and ships. TIG, plasma, MIG or even laser welding methods are used, depending on the specification and the thickness of the workpiece.

Numerous types – infinite possibilities
Structural steel is a generic term used for various steels that are processed in the steel and machine engineering industries. The steel is available as rods, profiles, pipes and sheet metal in a number of thicknesses and dimensions. Structural steel is usually easy to weld, durable when handled and suitable for all conventional welding procedures.

Special properties – special applications
Special materials have special properties and are suitable for special applications. There are highly durable, strong, light or resistant special materials for various requirements. These may be particularly resistant to chemical, thermal or mechanical loads. When selecting the right welding procedure for these materials it is important to know the precise material properties.

Metal inert gas welding
MIG welding is a metal shielding gas welding process (GMAW) with inert gas, in which the light arc burns between a continuously fed melting wire electrode and the material. The melting electrode supplies the additive material for forming the weld. MIG welding can be used simply and economically with nearly all materials that are suitable for welding. Different shielding gases are used, depending on the requirement and the material.

Metal active gas welding
MAG welding is a metal shielding gas welding process (GMAW) with active gas, in which the arc burns between a continuously fed melting wire electrode and the material. The melting wire electrode supplies the additive filler metal for forming the weld. MAG welding can be used simply and economically with nearly all materials that are suitable for welding. Different shielding gases are used, depending on the requirement and the material.

Tungsten inert gas welding
TIG welding is tungsten shielding gas welding process (GTAW) with inert gas, in which the arc burns between a non-melting tungsten electrode and the material. TIG welding can be used simply and economically on a variety of materials. Different shielding gases are used, depending on the requirement and the material.

Laser beam welding
Laser beam welding - in brief: laser welding - is a beam welding process that is used to join metals. The heat required to connect the parts is generated by the laser beam which is focussed onto the weld. Laser welding is a very fast and efficient welding process that is highly suited for automated processes.

Tungsten plasma welding / Plasma metal inert gas welding
Plasma welding is a shielding gas welding process with inert gas and a further development of the TIG welding procedure. Here, the arc burns between a non-melting electrode and the material. The plasma beam, which is used as a heat source, is created by a high supply of energy that makes the shielding gas electrically conductive. The arc is constricted and thereby reaches a higher energy density than during TIG welding. Plasma welding is suitable for all electrically conductive materials.

Plasma arc cutting
Plasma cutting is a arc cutting process in which the arc burns between a non-melting electrode and the material. The heat source is a beam of very hot electrically conductive gas, the so-called plasma beam. Plasma cutting is suitable for all electrically conductive materials. Various cutting gases are used in plasma cutting depending on the requirement and material.

Arc electrode welding
Manual metal arc welding is a metal arc welding process (MMAW) in which an electrical arc burns between a sheathed rod electrode and the material. No shielding gas is used in manual metal arc welding. The sheathed melting electrode forms a shielding gas to protect the smelt and supplies additives to create the required seam. Manual metal arc welding can be used on nearly all materials suitable for welding, simply and efficiently. Shielding gas is not supplied but is created – depending on the requirement and material – when the electrode sheath melts. The procedure is also used in small and medium-sized businesses and when building ships, pipelines as well as steel constructions and bridges outdoors.

Join securely – work effectively
Manual welding, or welding by hand, is among the most demanding and stressful activities in metal construction. To join materials securely welders frequently have to work for longer periods in so-called constrained positions. To make this possible over a longer period a welding torch is needed that relieves the welder and provides optimal support during work.

Ensuring stability – avoiding thermal distortion
Welding thin plates up to 3 mm thick is one of the most complex joining tasks. The aim is to create a stable connection despite the thin material gauge. To prevent distortion of the metal plate and time-consuming reworking, as little heat as possible needs to be generated on the work surface. This requires lots of experience, finesse and welding equipment that is capable of working precisely in every situation.

More efficient welding – improving quality
Joining thick steel plates like those used to build ships and machines is one of the most complex and difficult welding tasks, and often large tolerance differences and gaps need to be compensated. All parts require careful preparation to ensure permanently stable connections. Also, the required result is often only achieved after several welding processes.

Wide welds – long distances
Using optimised welding equipment is essential when welding large parts because the wide welds on the parts, which are usually subject to heavy loads, must remain permanently stable and securely attached. Also, large distances often need to be bridged between the power source and the welding point. The wire and gas supplies need to work reliably and all parameters and various welding programs must be retrievable, if possible by remote control.

Reducing strain – preventing tension
Welding can impact on health, which is why there is a series of statutory prevention regulations governing released gases and vapours, extreme light and high temperatures. These include the use of extractor systems, mobile extractor devices, fume extraction torches and personal protective equipment. As a leading welding equipment partner, ABICOR BINZEL wants to help welders to reduce the physical stress associated with welding.

ABICOR BINZEL offers optimum joining technology solutions for almost all materials and welding tasks - manual, mechanised or automated.

Robust requirements – varied welding tasks
In the shipbuilding and offshore industry, the highest requirements are placed on welders and equipment. The influences of wind and weather have to be considered as well as the special features of primed sheets, the lack of distortion of large segments and coatable welding seams without reworking. Welders often work in tight spaces as well as forced positions with many position changes and have to cover large distances. ABICOR BINZEL offers tailor-made solutions for manual welding and partially mechanised welding as well as robot welding.

Stable connections – partially mechanised solutions
Welding in construction engineering often means the joining of simple or galvanised structural steel and aluminium. Welding is carried out, for example, in the production hall, on the construction site, in the lift shaft or on the bridge. The welding process is selected according to material and application. In manual welding, lightweight and ergonomically optimal torch technology is important. Partially mechanised and automated welding, for example prefabrication, places particular requirements on the welding technology.

Demanding welding tasks – special equipment
High-performance and flexible welding equipment is required for heavy engineering, which optimally supports the welders at work. In this case, thick-walled parts, some of which are difficult to access in forced positions, must be welded manually. The welding seams here must be highly stress-resistant and fulfil the robust requirements. ABICOR BINZEL offers a wide selection of high-performance standard and special torches for manual and partially mechanised welding as well as special solutions for automatic welding, for example, in the serial manufacturing of assemblies.

Extreme loads – special welding solutions
Pipelines and tanks, windmills and turbines, solar collectors and incineration plants: The energy industry and apparatus construction have many facets. Most of them require robust, secure welding seams. In addition to steel, special materials must be frequently welded, which meet particularly high demands on stability and safety. ABICOR BINZEL offers a wide range of high-performance and ergonomic welding equipment for manual, partially mechanised and automated welding processes.

Implementing megatrends - use innovative joining techniques
